CHARLIE FLYNN will return to the scene of his greatest triumph — and the Mailman dreams of headlining at the Hydro himself one day.

The Newarthill boxer won Commonwealth Games gold back in 2014 at the Hydro and now the 23-year-old will be on the undercard at Ricky Burns’ title fight on May 28, which will be broadcast live on Sky.

It was an action-packed week for Flynn after he moved his professional record to 7-0 with a fine win over up-and-coming Jordan Ellison before heading to the Hydro to announce his place on Scotland’s most anticipated boxing card in years.

Now the Mailman is on a high as he goes in search of the Celtic title in front of 12,000 fans.

He said: “I can’t wait because it’s at the Hydro where I won the gold medal and I’m on a high right now.

“ When I fought at the weekend , I wasn’t really thinking about it but when I walked in the other day and saw everyone at the Hydro, it made me think ‘this is real and it’s really happening!

“I’m looking forward to this fight because I get to break someone down over 10 rounds and hurt them.

“The support from the fans is going to help me massively and especially because we have some tickets which will be cheaper than the dinner shows.

“It’s really good because it’s a lot easier for people just to come and watch the boxing at the Hydro, a lot of the younger fans can come as well.

“I’m on a mad high!

“This is the biggest day I’ve had in my boxing career since the day I won the gold at the Hydro.

“This is massive because it’s a Celtic title, it’s a strong title, so hopefully we can get that and work on from there.

“This is a big stepping stone and another step up the ladder. It’ll be a tough opponent but we’ll get a new group of fans coming through the doors and hopefully we can help them keep coming back through the doors.

“It’ll only be a matter of time before we’re filling big stadiums ourself. It’s all their in the making but as far as I’m concerned it’s one fight at a time.”

Flynn admits the lure of Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Promotions and Sky Sports was too good an offer to turn down.

He added: “It’s non-stop and it’s just going to snowball from here, which is good.

“We had a quiet period after the Games to work on things and build up some fans.

“Now that’s all been set-up, we were given a boost by STV (who showed Flynn’s win on Friday) and then ‘boom’, Sky give us another boost and it’s all snowballing for the future.

“We’ve built up the fans, starting at the dinner shows and it got to the point that we needed a bigger show.

“Eddie Hearn came along and gave us one with Sky promotion, which is huge and it can’t be competed with.”
